THE PRINCIPAL AGENT OF MISSION

The coming of the Holy Spirit makes them witnesses and prophetsActs 1:8; 2:17-18. It fills them with a serene courage which impels them to pass on to others their experience of Jesus and the hope which motivates them. The Spirit gives them the ability to bear witness to Jesus with “boldness.”When the first evangelizers go down from Jerusalem, the Spiritbecomes even more of a “guide,” helping them to choose both those to whom they are to go and the places to which their missionary journey is to take them.

MAKING THE WHOLE CHURCH MISSIONARY

The Holy Spirit, who distributes His gifts as He wishes for the good of all, provides the tools needed to do missionary work such as the gift of healing.Christ stirs up a missionary vocation in the hearts of individuals, and at the same time raises up in the Church those institutes which undertake the duty of evangelization, which is the responsibility of the whole Church, as their special task.” Evangelization will never be possible without the action of the Holy Spirit.

Peter explains this event as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel: “I will pour out my spirit.” (Acts 2:17)Peter is filled with the Holy Spirit so that he can speak to the people about Jesus, the Son of God. (Acts 4:8) Paul too is filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:17) before dedicating himself to his apostolic ministry, as is Stephen when he is chosen for the ministry of service and later on for the witness of blood. (Acts 6:5, 10; 7:55)The Spirit, who causes Peter, Paul and the Twelve to speak, and who inspires the words that they are to utter, also comes down “on those who heard the word.” (Acts 10:44)

It is in the “consolation of the Holy Spirit”that the Church increases. (Acts 9:31)The Holy Spiritis the soul of the Church. It is He who explains to the faithful the deep meaning of the teaching of Jesus and of His mystery. It is the Holy Spirit who, today just as at the beginning of the Church, acts in every evangelizer who allows himself to be possessed and led by Him. The Holy Spirit places on his lips the words which he could not find by himself, and at the same time the Holy Spirit predisposes the soul of the hearer to be open and receptive to the Good News and to the kingdom being proclaimed.

Without the Holy Spirit the most convincing dialectic has no power over the heart of man. Without Him the most highly developed schemes resting on a sociological or psychological basis are quickly seen to be quite valueless.

Evangelii Nuntiandi

It must be said that the Holy Spirit is the principal agent of evangelization: it is He who impels each individual to proclaim the Gospel, and it is He who in the depths of consciences causes the word of salvation to be accepted and understood. But it can equally be said that He is the goal of evangelization: He alone stirs up the new creation, the new humanity of which evangelization is to be the result, with that unity in variety which evangelization wishes to achieve within the Christian community. Through the Holy Spirit the Gospel penetrates to the heart of the world, for it is He who causes people to discern the signs of the times- signs willed by God- which evangelization reveals and puts to use within history.

MIRACULOUS OIL from HEAVEN

The spiritual images began to ooze large quantities of olive oil. Other secular pictures on the wall like diplomas were not affected. Many sick people were healed by the application of this heavenly oil. The most prolific source of this oil comes from the above statue of Christ on a cross. Notice the small pail at the bottom of His feet.

Maureen Marolly and Clayton Marolly claim that the icons started “sweating” in October 1994. The live at

The pictures on the wall bear a multitude of holy patterns that look like Jesus’ face and other such things when you look closely. An example: a rose petal with an image of Jesus on it fell right on her. The petal is encased in glass and featured on postcards she gives out.

They have a daughter with Down’s Syndrome. Maureen says people report to having holy visions of the girl. They make miraculous recoveries from grave illness after witnessing this vision.

They welcome bus loads of visitors from the United States and Canada and give away vials of the heavenly oil. They accept no donations.

The Marollys, a devout Catholic couple from Pakistan live in a home in the West Island full of statues which get inexplicably covered in oil all day long. The thick, clear oil descends off the figures in such quantities that they require a small drain pipe to catch the viscous fluid into a glass jug at the end of the coffee table. Scientifically, it is true olive oil. The drain pipe is affixed to the coffee table that holds many statuettes that each ooze oil.

There are those holy people who also have a holy chapel in their home. These holy people trade their statuettes with those “sweating” statuettes on the large coffee table. The traded statuettes continue to sweat in their new holy environment.

BEING OPEN TO MIRACLES

It is the will of God that we should be healed. It is the will of God that we should be awake to love and aware of God’s goodness in our lives. What is the miracle in your lifethat you need to pray for?

If you want to believe in miracles, there is overwhelming evidencefrom physicians, who witness “life after death” experiences. In 2014 a four year study was made of over 2000 patience, who had some kind of awareness before they were revived from what appeared to be death. Over 46% of the patients experienced seeing light, feeling at peace and having thoughts.Sixty-three of them (2%) had out of body experiences where they could describe in great detail what was happening around them. The scientists who conducted the survey more favorably believed in life without a physical body after death:rather than simply believing that this life is all there is.Continue reading TRUE MIRACLES→

I HAVE COME TO HEAL YOUR ILLNESS.

Ah, beloved ones, I have come to heal your sores, your wounds and your infirmities, all which were so savagely inflicted upon you in this darkness; no, beloved ones, your sores are not past healing, your injuries are curable, for I-Am-With-You and ever so near you; so come to Me with love, ask Me with love and you will receive, invoke Me with love and I shall hear you; I will raise you to My Bosom and cradle you, comforting you; hear My Cry of Love and Peace: May 1, 1989

“I will continue to cure your sickand My Name will be praised; hear Me: to extol My Name I will appear often in your place as a reminder of My Marvels and of the reality of My Presence; I will reveal Myself on you to show everyone how I am in you and you in Me, that they may believe that through your words, I Am.”

“I tell you, salvation will come to the abandoned, and to those who never sought Me, the poor and the wretched, the abandoned and the starved need water and there is none; their tongue is parched with thirst; this is why I will give them water with My Own Hand.” October 13, 1994

Walking in the Supernatural Power of God

God gave gifts to people in the Old Testament to enable them to lead the people of Israel in difficult times. The Spirit gave leadership not only to judges, but to people with political power, like kings. . God gave prophets the ability to speak about future events.

Today’s church is not reaching many of the lost, sick, and hurting because believers are not taking the authority and power they have been given through Christ and going out to the world as His body.

What it means to be Born Again

Yes, you were baptized with water probably as a baby. But so were those who were baptized by John the Baptist. Many of those were also present at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit showered His gifts and power upon most of those present.

Scripture explicitly states that we must first be born again. In order to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, we must first be committed to new life in Christ. This is when the real transformation begins. “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’John 3:6, 7 “And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 13:52Continue reading WALKING IN THE POWER OF GOD→

REAL FACE OF JESUS?

For so long, humanity has ached to see the Real Face of Jesus. We know Jesus is a person who desires a relationship with us.

The Jesus picture is matched to the Shroud of Turin.

It is strange how many people quickly believe in evil spirits or demons. Remember the movie, theExorcist. That movie was based on a true story of a boy who was possessed. His situation is not unique. Sometimes the afflicted exhibit supernatural strength, speak in other languages and change their voice. These possessions point to the supernatural.

Sometimes it is the same evil spirits that holds people back, who continue to influence people “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12

“My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

So I come to Him in faith, believing His Word. He can work miracles within the boundaries of His Word anytime and anyplace He wants to.

AMAZING HEALING

Sickness doesn’t come from God. Jesus destroys the works of the devil, so you can live free of sickness and disease!

Jesus healed everyone who came to Him in faith. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever” Hebrews 13:8, so I come to Him in faith, knowing He will heal me too!

I will not allow doubt and unbelief to keep me from receiving from God.

The main purpose of my life is to minister to the Lord, putting my hand to work He gives me to do. I thank God for healing me, that I might be effective and unhindered by pain, sickness and disease.

When I ask for healing, I am not forcing God’s hand. Healing me is His idea! He wants me to be healed. Healing comes to me in my “benefits package”.

I don’t deny my symptoms, but I don’t dwell on them. I don’t check to see if my symptoms are gone or if anything in my body has changed. Symptoms may still be affecting my body, but the truth is that I am healed. I don’t allow the devil’s doubt and unbelief to keep me from my healing.

FAITH ISN’T TOO COMPLICATED.

Faith is the belief that God is good. Faith is not a mystical experience or a voice in the wilderness. It is a choice to believe that the One who made it all, hasn’t left it all and that He still sends light into our shadows and responds to our gestures of faith.

So what does faith have to do with our daily existence? It has everything to do with it. Our task on this earth is to choose our eternal home. You can choose the wrong career or the wrong house and you will survive. But, there is one choice that must be made correctly and that is you eternal destiny.

“I am fully persuaded that what God has promised, He is able to do.”Romans 4:21

Faith builds up in me when I hear and hear the Word. I hear the Word of God , and hearing produces faith in me. The Holy Spirit opens the mysteries of the Scriptures to you, revealing the life and the ways of God to you. God’s light and life will shine in you, so much so that others will notice.

This happens even as I face adverse circumstances or painful symptoms. My faith releases His healing power in my life. My faith and His power make me whole.

The servant was healed because the centurion believed the words that Jesus spoke. You will be healed because you believe God’s healing promises will come to pass.

WE ARE ALL IN NEED OF FORGIVENESS.

Forgiveness is to our best interest because God said he can only forgive us only when we forgive others. “Forgive, and you will be forgiven,”Luke 6:37.“When you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins,”Mark 11:25. God lifts the penalty for the unforgiveness. Favor comes from God when forgiveness is applied.

This can be solved by a prayer of deliverance.Whatever has you in bondage can be broken by the power of the almighty God in the Name of Jesus.

WHAT IS DELIVERANCE?

Deliverance is defined as “a rescue from bondage or danger.”Deliverance is often sought from evil spirits or the spirit of lust, jealousy, etc. We are told to “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith.” 1 Peter 5:8,9

All aspects of deliverance are available only through the person and work of Jesus Christ:” When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, ‘Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!’” Luke 10:17

HAVE YOU EVER HAD BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT?

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the historyof the world, man will have discovered fire.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE?

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is not a sacrament, but it is related to several sacraments. It is God’s answer to this malfunctioning that has grown up in the Christian life in the Sacrament of Baptism. We believe that being Baptized in the Holy Spirit makes real and revitalizes our baptism.

I. You First must be “Born Again”:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

BORN AGAIN

“The instant that I was born again, I felt wonderful. It was just like a two-ton weight had rolled off my chest. I was rejoicing and I felt happy spiritually.” I BELIEVE IN VISIONS by Kenneth Hagin

BORN AGAIN

There’s Got to be More to Christianity!

“’Consider carefully what you hear,’ He continued. ‘With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.‘” Mark 4:24

God gives us the oil of holiness. We become like new wine skins , not by your own strength. This means there is no self-effort. But it also means there is no more agenda. Once you give God everything that you have, you die to yourself. The old wine skin has to go.

There may be a period when your faith is trained and tested. God only wants to get your attention.

We must keep going and seek Him. God said that you should seek and you will find. This is an authoritative statement with only one proviso: it must be done on God’s timing. He didn’t say seek him until you find Him. With holiness, you will see Him.

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvestof your righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 9: 10

So if you believe a little, you will get a little, but if you believe a lot, you will get a lot. Once you soak yourself in the spirit of holiness, you will receive perfect love, which was given at Pentecost.

When you receive Jesus as our personal Saviour by faith, His life enters your spirit. You are now what Scripture callsborn again. John 3:1-9. You have Christ’s brand new life inside you. His purity, love, peace, truth, and blessings are now inside your spirit. You are beautiful and perfect within.

As a child of your Heavenly Father, you are invited to communicate with Him through prayer. Prayer is easy — you simply share your heart with Him. He loves to answer our desires. Prayer is very fulfilling and powerful.

You will also want to meet some other Christians who understand the love of God. Fellowship can be great fun. Visit some of the churches in your areas. Christ’s Holy Spirit dwells within you, and He will direct you to a good fellowship if you ask Him to.

Just like a newborn baby needs nourishment and care, so do new babies in the Lord. The Bible is full of truth that is like fresh milk and food for you . As you read it each day, it will nourish you and reveal wonderful things about God’s love and His ways. Here are the gift, which you will discover by reading the Word of God, which:

All of God’s goodness belongs to you when you are in Christ; so enjoy!

Who are You in Christ?

The Lord loves you with an everlasting love and has promised to give you a future and a hope. With loving kindness, He has drawn you to Himself. It is through this love that He has called you to be His dear child.

God’s love toward you is patient and kind. His love will never fail. His love for you is so rich that He gave His only begotten Son. You now have an unbreakable, eternal covenant with Him:

You are a recipient of every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3

You are a new creation in Christ; old things have passed away and all things have become new. Corinthians 5: 17

The Lord is the strength of your life.

Nothing can separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, your Lord. You are not under any guilt or condemnation. Romans 8:1 Refuse discouragement because it is not of God. God is a God of encouragement. You flee from temptation in Christ. James 4:7 But if you do sin, you have an advocate with the Father, 1 John 2:2who is Jesus Christ. Confess your sins and forsake them. God is just toforgiveand cleanse you.

Because Christ has set you free, you are free indeed. Romans 8:2You have been delivered out of the domain of darkness and you now abide in the Kingdom of God. God has not given you a spirit of fear but of love, of power, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

He will make your path straight.

Because Christ dwells within you, you know wisdom and instruction. When you lack wisdom, ask in faith and it is given to you generously. James 1:5Jesus will make His words of wisdom known to you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all of your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. Proverbs 3: 5,6
